A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative

1 answer:

6 0

A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative density. Take ice floating in water for example. Water is more dense than ice so ice floats.

Mass is incorrect as the buoyancy or ability of an object to float depends on the mass per volume, which is equivalent to density.

What is the volume of a 5M solution with that has 16.5 moles?

kenny6666 [7]

Molarity can be used to calculate the volume of solvent or the amount of solute. The relationship between two solutions with the same amount of moles of solute can be represented by the formula c1V1 = c2V2, where c is concentration and V is volume.

Describe the observation Robert Brown made.

12345 [234]

Answer:

In 1827, Brown observed, using a microscope, that small particles ejected from pollen grains suspended in water executed a kind of continuous and jittery movement, this was named “Brownian motion”. ... This random movement of particles suspended in a fluid is now called after him.

Give regents and mechanism

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Reagents: 1) $BH_3$ 2) $H_2_O2$ , $OH^-$

Mechanism: Hydroboration

Explanation:

In this case, we have a hydration of alkenes reaction. But, in this example, we have an anti-Markovnikov reaction. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: "hydroboration".

The first step of this reaction is the addition of borane ( $BH_3$ ) to the double bond. Then in the second step, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the third step, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond " $BH_2-O-OH$ ". In step number 4 we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in step number 5, we have the attack of $OH^-$ on the $O-BH_2$ to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will protonate the molecule to produce the alcohol.

See figure 1

Sodium phosphate and calcium chloride react to form sodium chloride and calcium phosphate. If you have 379.4 grams of calcium ch

barxatty [35]

Answer: 353.6 g.

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

Sodium phosphate + calcium choride → sodium chloride + calcium phosphate

2) Balanced chemical equation

2 Na₃PO₄ +3 CaCl₂ → 6 NaCl + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3) Mole ratio

2 moles Na₃PO₄ : 3 moles CaCl₂ : 6 moles NaCl : 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂

4) Formula to convert grams to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

5) Number of moles of limiting reactant

a) mass in grams = 379.4 g CaCl₂

b) molar mass CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

c) number of moles CaCl₂ = 379.4 g / 110.98 g/mol = 3.419 moles

6) Theoretical yield of Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles CaCl₂ / 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 3.419 moles CaCl₂ / x ⇒

x = 3.419 × 1 / 3 = 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂

7) Convert 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂

a) molar mass Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 310.1767 g/mol

b) mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass = 1.140 moles × 310.1767 g/mol = 353.6 g ← answer.

The OAC simulation showed that warm air over a cold current:

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Option B

Transfers energy to the water

Explanation:

Warm air transfers energy to the water when it flows over cold currents. This means that the warm air loses heat energy to the cold currents thus, raising its temperature.

Whenever there is a temperature difference between two bodies in contact with each other, the Fouriers law explains that there is always a transfer of heat from the hotter body to the colder body until they become the same temperature.

Thus, following this, heat will flow from the warm air to the cold currents.
